A member asked:
My 3 year old has a peanut allergy. how common is it for kids to grow out of that?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not uncommon: depends on the severity to start with, some affected children with mild to moderate reactions, do outgrow peanut allergy overtime, however, no one can tell which of which, you need to follow up with an allergist/ immunologist, keep all the necessary medications in case of accidental exposure, at home and at school, a medi-alert, etc.. A new vaccine being developed, not out yet, wish you wellness
